The 15-year-old, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, was discovered by neighbors, who called 911. Michelle, 39, who competed on both The Bachelor in 2011 and Bachelor in Paradise in 2014, revealed the news in a post on Instagram on Monday morning, (seen here).
“Brielle was in terrible skateboarding accident and is in the ICU on life support. She suffered a serious brain trauma and a fractured skull. She is in a medically induced coma to relieve pressure in her brain. She is in amazing hands up at Primary Children’s Hospital,” Michelle wrote alongside a photo of Brielle hooked up to various machines in a hospital bed.
After Michelle’s post explaining the situation, which she described as “the worst experience of my life,” Bachelor Nation instantly rallied around her. Michelle competed for Brad Womack‘s heart in season 15 of the hit ABC show.
“Oh Michelle I’m so sorry,” former Bachelorette Emily Maynard commented. “Im praying for a miracle for you and your sweet girl. Sending you all the love in the world. .” JoJo Fletcher, the season 12 Bachelorette, wrote, “I am so so sorry. Sending so many prayers to you and your sweet girl. .” Bachelor in Paradise alum and mom of two, Jade Roper added, “Praying so so hard, Michelle. Know my love is with you and Brielle..”
In her post, Michelle, who believes in the power of prayer, called on her followers to help support her daughter.
“Please — I am asking for prayers. I believe in the power of communication with whatever God you believe in. The energy of your conscious focus to send healing to my daughter is real. In whatever form you commune with your Higher Power, please as a desperate mother, I am begging you to do so,” Michelle wrote. “She needs support and healing right now. And if you could send one up for me as well, I would appreciate it. This is the worst experience of my life.”
Michelle continued: “ALWAYS MAKE THEM WEAR THE HELMET. ALWAYS. EVEN WHEN THEY PUSH BACK. Thank you to the neighbors who happened to be on a walk and found her and called 911. You will never understand. I would not have found her in time. My heart is forever grateful. Thank you to all of you who have sent prayers and messages and love. Brielle has been through so much already this year. She has proven how strong she is. I know she will pull through,” she concluded, adding the hashtag, “#PrayForBrie.”
